Perfect Christmas
The house exceeded all expectations! Too many fabulous details to name here, and it really felt like a home. Deanna was incredibly helpful, and was answered all of my questions within minutes. The town of Central City is a gem!

We had a wonderful time staying in the cabin and enjoyed coffee on the deck watching the hummingbirds and listening to the water bounce off the rocks on the nearby stream. Looking forward to returning in the future.

We stayed in this wonderful cabin in July of 2004. We took our 90-year-old mother with us. She loved watching the hummingbirds out the window every day! We enjoyed bird-watching and climbing right out the door! It was an easy drive for fabric shopping for my mother in nearby Nederland. They have a wonderful fabric shop there, and the scenery on that drive is awesome! I got to see my first mountain bluebird at the Golden Gate State Park only minutes from the cabin. The cabin was absolutely great. It had everything we needed and more! And our pekingese had a great stay too. We can't wait to go back!

3 generations mountain trip
Such a wonder full place. Im 77 years old and i brought my wife, our daughter and her daughter our granddaughter. Me and the 3 ladies used this home as our base, and traveled out each day to rocky mountain national park and cog railway up pikes peak, boulder, and numerous hikes all around the area. And of course me and my wife went into blackhawk a few nites for some slots and wonderful dinners. This home hadeverything you could want...seperate areas for me and my eife and aldo for my daughtrr and her daughter. 3 full bathrooms with upscale showers, etc. My daughter is a birder and was delighted with the 3 hummingbird feeders on the 3 deck areas. She kept them full all week and has left supplies and detailed instructions for future guests. This home is the best we have ever rented and you will enjoy your stay beyond your expectations. Look no further than this property. Reserve and enjoy with no worries.

The most wonderful property we’ve stayed at in 7 years of travel!
The home itself is really magnificent. We’ve stayed in A-frame cabins in the mountains several times, but this one is above and beyond all the rest, surpassing even the photos and descriptions. The property is incredible—the creek is literally 10-12 feet from the back door, and if you crack the windows you’ll hear its lovely sound the entire time, truly serene. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need to prepare any meal. The bathrooms are next level—rainfall showers, full body nozzles, steam shower, huge whirlpool tub, and gorgeous decor throughout. There was more than enough room for my wife and I and our twin 16 year old boys. We were concerned that they would have issues sharing the same large bed in the lower bedroom, and when I mentioned this to Deanna, she immediately offered an inflatable air mattress. It wasn’t needed however, as one of my boys just wanted to fall asleep watching the big screen tv on the couch in the wonderful downstairs family room. You can tell that the owners love this home, by the amount of care and craftsmanship that they’ve put into it. There is a great sense of family here, and we never wanted to leave. Thank you Deanna!

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Hummingbird Nest!! Its very cozy and well appointed, and the mountain stream flowing by within a few feet of the cabin adds so much to the "relaxation factor". The location is great - close to Denver, Blackhawk, hiking/biking trails at Golden Gate State Park, Golden, etc., and yet has a secluded "feel". If you are looking for a great place to unwind and relax, you found it!

In March my husband and I wanted a fun place to go by ourselves.Wow Did we have fun. We went for walks, gambled in Black Hawk,and visited historical places in Central city. One day we went to Golden. Its full of artists and we were lucky enough to go to an art festival. We were able to buy 4 beautiful pieces of pottery. Golden is full of history and close to Black Hawk.The evenings were wonderful just laying around the fire place and talking.Sometimes our lives are so hectic we just ned to get away. What a fun place to go.

This place is great. I recently stayed there and highly recommend it for a place to get away and relax and enjoy nature. It is very quiet and yet not too far from civilization so that you feel isolated. It was wonderful and I hope to return again some day.

I was fortunate enough to have stayed at the Hummingbird Nest over the Labor Day Holiday this year. This charming little cottage was comfortable, well furnished and appointed and was absolutely delightful! It is private, comfortable, cozy and yet large enough that we didn't ever feel crowded. I was also impressed at how well stocked it is. All we had to do was bring our groceries. We spent many hours on the deck, relaxing while letting the sounds of the stream below us wash away the worries of the world outside. It was truely a joy and I intend to go back again and again.

We had the pleasure of spending a week in Hummingbird Nest for the occasion of our son's graduation from Denver University. With 4 grown children and 2 spouses in various parts of the country, it was a great place to gather and celebrate as a family! We hunted and found 3 geo-cache's in the near vicinity with spectacular views in each place. The Kuders called us twice while we were there, to make sure we had everything we needed, which made us feel like family! We'd love to go back some day! Thanks Deanna! Dr. and Barb Sharma

I stayed at the Hummingbird Nest this weekend and had an amazing time. I planned a reunion with college friends from the midwest and they were very impressed with the house and the surroundings! We talked for hours on the deck overlooking the stream and made a great dinner on the grill! I'd recommend this place to all my friends and family!!

My family has stayed in this cabin several times. We have found it to be very adequately supplied and very comfortable. It is spacious, clean, and comfortable. We especially enjoyed the woodburning stove and the stmosphere of the mountain cabin. There is a deck with a barbacue grill to add that extra flavor to a meal. The kitchen is spacious and has most everything you need. There is plenty of space to park if two or three families are using the cabin at the same time. I am looking forward to going back soon.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
Owners Dennis and Deanna Kuder have been working on this home for nearly 20 years now. Dennis owns a sawmill in Kansas and has milled much of the lumber used in the interior and exterior of the home. They have enjoyed planning and working on unique features, along with their son Jason. Together they have developed the perfect getaway that they want to share with others. They have tried to provide things that will make you feel at home. If you need it, it's likely there. Your comfort is their goal.

Why they chose this property

There is so much history in the Black Hawk/Central City area, and there is so much to do. We have enjoyed using Hummingbird Nest as a base for journeying out on day trips. It is the perfect location to visit so many wonderful places. There are amazing things going on all the time and new things added all the time.
But most of all, we enjoy the peace and quiet of just being at home. The hummingbirds are always flitting around in the summer. We have had turkey pay us a visit, as well as a moose. Though we have never seen bears, our neighbors tell us they have seen them around. The summers are cool, and winters are quiet and toasty warm by the fire. We enjoy the time we are there and long to share our bit of paradise with others, too!

What makes this property unique

We have always tried to make our home welcoming to guests. We want them to feel at home and open to settling in like they are at home. If it is there, feel free to use it. The kitchen is stocked with seasonings of all kinds. Use anything you need.
Our location is perfect for all tastes. There is something for everyone, and we want everyone to enjoy their stay. Each guest will be assigned an entry code so their access will be easy, and the carport allows you to have access for unloading your gear, regardless of the weather outside.
